What Up CHU? Mel V here. Everything is finally back to order now that the Holidays are over and in New York we are recovering from a Deep Freeze (14 consecutive days of freezing temps or something wild like that ..sheesh). I even braved the elements to go pick up last week’s variants. I’m a Hunter darn it. This week should be a blistery 40 degrees so the hunt won’t be bad at all. Lets get into what’s on the radarFlash Vol 5 #38 Cover B Variant Francesco Mattina Cover – Do I even need to go into why this cover is great? Cover Artist of the Year Francesco Mattina back with another great one. These will fly off the shelves, get em, enjoy the story/art, and preserve them in a long box .

Justice League Of America Vol 5 #22 Cover B Variant Doug Mahnke Cover – Before Steve Orlando’s post on twitter that started to move this book, I was digging this cover. The Queen Of Fables looking all devious and stuff on this cover, sold out at Midtown.. keep an eye on this one for the long run, cant wait to read this arc and see whats it all about

Phoenix Resurrection Return Of (Adult) Jean Grey #3 Cover D Incentive Stephanie Hans – Here we go, my first Cover of the year Candidate… absolutely stunning, T shirt worthy. Print runs will be high on this so it should be no problems finding it. Get it, grade it, display it. Great work Miss Hans, hats off Co-Cover of The week for me.

Rose #7 Cover B Variant Loopydave Cover – Shout out to Randy G for showing me this cover. At first glance I was like meh, then I was like hmmm, finally I was like ok I like it… then I went back to meh. It’s a cool cover, at the moment im at the hmmmm phase as I write this.

Well, seems they got two so I got two. But that was it. No Stabby Rabbit at all.
I really wish Dc would get these variants up with the initial orders so they can be added in. Trying to beat the Foc cutoff with a day or two notice ain’t always cutting it.

I don’t find the FOC timing bad…I find the print run quality on the DC Variant covers super shitty. It’s amazing to me that the variant covers come in so crappy and yet the “A” covers come in pristine—so frustrating….
